Crystal structure of aqua­chlorido­bis­(2-eth­oxy-6-formyl­phenolato-κ(2) O (1),O (6))iron(III) aceto­nitrile hemisolvate

In the title compound, [Fe(L)(2)Cl(H(2)O)]·0.5CH(3)CN, (HL is 3-eth­oxy-2-hy­droxy-benzaldehyde, C(9)H(10)O(3)), there are two independent complex mol­ecules and one aceto­nitrile solvent mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. In each complex mol­ecule, the Fe(III) ion has a distorted O(5)Cl octa­hedral coordination environment defined by two bidentate 2-eth­oxy-6-formyl­phenolato ligands, one Cl atom and one water mol­ecule. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the two independent mol­ecules to form a dimer. The solvent mol­ecule is linked to the complex mol­ecule by a weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bond. Further weak C—H⋯O inter­actions along with weak C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the components into chains parallel to [001].
